Supermarket sweep

Mussels are the national dish of Belgium and absolutely essential on the table when celebrating the country’s Independence Day, which falls on 21 July. The traditional preparation method is à la marinière, which consists of white wine, shallots, parsley and butter, but the Belgians have added a twist by replacing white wine with their famous Belgian beer. Two other classic versions include à la crème where the stock is thickened with flour and generous proportions of heavy cream, and a vegetable stock with bits of celery, leek and onions seeping into the shells. These bivalves are best paired with a refreshing witbier, but feel free to try a ripe Chardonnay for mussels in red sauce, dry Riesling when they are steamed with white wine and garlic, or a semi-sweet Gewürztraminer when cooked in curry.
